BOW 4

Amen.

Say, I can bear it. I can bear it. I can carry the weight of God's word. I can carry the weight of God's word. I'm interested in learning. I am interested in learning. Amen.

Amen.

Say it again. I have the mind of Christ. I have the mind of Christ.

Christ.

I have a sharp mind. I have a sharp mind to receive, to receive, to learn, to learn, and to unlearn, to unlearn. So let me just continue from where I stopped. I told you that both God and the devil have merit list. You remember that the devil is not so desperate to use people that he will use people anyhow, even the devil. I'm not about to teach you how to be an agent of darkness, okay? So, but I'm just being honest in telling you. So if Illuminati, or whatever it is they are called, will bless your song. I'm just saying that there is a kind of production that even Illuminati will distance themselves from and say, we are not interested. And even if you do ritual, if you don't have sense Even the gods will only give you thousands. So it's not easy anywhere. Do we have an agreement on that? Are you sure? We settled that so we can build on that. Okay, let's build. Let me show you a scripture. Turn your Bibles to the book of Obadiah. Obadiah has just one chapter. Open it now. Have you seen it? He say, Apostle, which one? Open it. And one of the things we're going to start doing is that apart from this digital Bible, we start bringing the hard Aha, what is looking for Obadiah in Revelations? There's a part of the scripture I want us to read together. Obadiah chapter number 1, we're going to read verse 21 together. Obadiah 1, verse 21 together. If you are there, say amen.

Amen.

1, 2, 3, go! One more time. Permit me, just one more time again. The Bible described this set of individuals using the word saviors, and I want to believe that prophetically the Bible is describing you and I. That people will rise that will be saviors to nations. I didn't hear amen to that. Saviors in systems, in different sectors that will change the realities. Are they here? Yes, sir. Ask your neighbor, are they here? Are you the one?

Yes, sir.

Ask neighbor, say, I don't look like any savior. Are you the one? Saviors will rise. Saviors will rise. Saviors will rise. Will rise from Abuja. We rise from Lagos. We rise from Ibadan. We rise from Port Harcourt. We rise of Africa. We rise in Europe. We rise everywhere. We rise.

Amen.

There is the kind of mentality you have when it occurs to you that systems depend on you. There is a change in thinking from the one just want favor. Saviors are not favored. It is not favor that put one in that position. Can I say it again?

Yes, sir.

When God is pushing you as a rescue agent, it is not on the bill of just favor. Let me give you an instance. Come, Nakale. Imagine Nakale come here to church as a chief surgeon and he says, praise Master Jesus, I am standing here today as a chief surgeon in so-and-so hospital on the bill of favor. Even when, you know, some of the things I should learn, my supervisors just ignored them, and here I am. I've just been so, so and so and so. Favor made it happen. Then you have a family member that needs operation. Do you give it to the doctor who became a doctor on the bill of favor? Or you look for a doctor who is there on the bill of merit. Your definition of favor will destroy your mentality because your definition of favor is that God has chosen to favor me at the expense of every other person that my lack of credibility or excellence can affect. God is not robbing Peter to pay Paul. That's not favor. What I'm simply saying is that Moses was not used by God to rescue the Israelites on the bill of favor. See, we don't like to teach these things, or we don't like to talk about them because at some point it will look like— is it pride or arrogance? When you are valuable, both God and the devil will need you.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Maybe somebody is running ministry and say, Father, in the land that we are running ministry, we grow on the wings of favor.

Fantastic!

But you're not doing the things you should do. Any kind of favor you are— you receive that affects someone else negatively is not favor. If we keep producing students that are passing exams on the bill of favor, the nation will not move forward. That's how— that's not how nations are built. Hey, now, and that's why in this church We don't anoint Bibles for exam. Read, huh? I say, I'm about to write this exam, anoint the pen, speak a word on empty head. It doesn't work. Hello. Hi. That's why I said it's a night to unlearn. So when the Bible says that saviors will arise, God means it. Let me— let's start with a foundation. Turn your Bibles with me. Let me show you something. Turn your Bibles to the book of Genesis. Let me quickly show you something. Are you still there?

Yes, sir.

Genesis chapter number 41. Genesis chapter number 41.

Are you there?

I'm trying to gauge you. Can we eat this? Should we eat it? Okay, let's start from verse 1. Genesis 41, from verse 1. And it came to pass at the end of 2 full years, Pharaoh dreamed. And behold, he stood by the river. Yes, so he had certain dream, and then they came out to verse 7. Well favored. So that was his dream. He saw some well favored cow, he saw some lean one. The lean ones, the favored ones. Okay, so after Pharaoh had that dream, in verse 8, the Bible says, it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called all the magicians of Egypt and all the wise men thereof. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.

And he spake—

sorry, then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day. Pharaoh was wroth with his servants and put me in the captain of the guard's house. Both me and the chief baker.

And we had a dream in one night, I and he.

And we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream. And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew servant to the captain of the guard. And we told him and interpreted to us our dreams, to each man according to his dream. He did interpret, and it came to pass as he interpreted to us, so it was. Me he restored unto my office, and him he hanged. There's something to learn there if you work in organizations. He didn't tell the king that him you hanged. He said he hanged, because if you accuse the king that you hang someone, you might be the next. I carry favor for Ed. No, they think where I carry favor for Ed. He talk anyhow. They will drop the favor. Okay, now when he explained that Let's read verse 14 together. 1, 2, 3, go. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. Wait, why did he call Joseph? Was it because Joseph was favored but not needed? Talk to me now. He called Joseph because—

so Joseph had paid 40 days.

Die!

Kaloma ne kete, leno mogo. Even if they don't need me, they call me. Everywhere I turn, ah, by fire, they are looking for me. Looking for you to do what? Ah, everyone that sees me is interested. Interested in what? System gives bonanza.

It's not charity organization. There's no free lunch in life.

They were not bringing him out because he had a fine face. They were bringing him out because there's a problem no one else could solve, and they were checking him out.

That's why they were bringing him out. He's never interpreted dream. He doesn't know about it. He's just abandoned himself and smoking weed in the prison and drinking pami. And I say, one day I know I will come out. One day I will come out. That's the day they will kill him. They were calling him because he was needed. Saviors are not going to rise out of favor. There's a need that they must have responded to God's training process. To solve. Let's look at verse 14 again. Are you still there?

Yes, sir.

Let's read verse 14 again. 1, 2, 3, go. Wait, Pharaoh sent to call him because his pastor laid hands on him? Talk to me now. Pharaoh said that they should call him because January they did anointing service?

No, sir.

Pharaoh called to say that they should call him because he gave his tithe? No, sir. Okay, maybe Pharaoh said that they should call him because he gave first fruit? And because he gave, doors just opened.

No problem.

He can't solve problems, he just give. Or as pastor spoke the word into his life— you see, some are the ones that put pastors in trouble. I like Kelvin's testimony on Sunday. God told him, dress up, go to your friend's office at the villa. If he sat at home, nothing will happen. Then if you went to that office and they asked him a question and it doesn't have solution, nothing will still happen. It doesn't matter whether Apostle Femi Lazarus say, let me hug you, congratulations in advance. See, see, see, all those things is a constant. But if you have a constant that is 1,000, 0 times 1,000 is 0. I'm saying you can frustrate grace because of failure to prepare. Let me tell you something. If a man of grace lay hands on the one who has prepared, it will look powerful. If he lay hands on the one who has not prepared, the same grace, the man will look powerless.

You can make a powerful man look powerless because there's nothing here.

Sorry, you see power. Well, it matters the head, it is coming on. Huh, how did, how did David get to the palace? Because somewhere poured oil. They were looking for a skillful player on harp, and everyone was simultaneously recommending the son of Jesse. Simultaneously, meaning that the guy is good and we suffer the same. You can't write things if your mind is not inspired. I'm saying we better start asking ourselves why C2AT will die. Ah, please, I'm telling you, 2025 can be a problem.

Us.

As long as you believe. Ah, the last time Apostle— when he spoke that, I caught it.

You got what?

Catch those things. But you see, the people who are prepared themselves will look like the ones that God answered their prayer.

Yes, sir. Very true.

Okay, imagine having a president on the bill of favor. The person is not prepared to lead anybody, solve any problem. He's just there eating and getting fat because a prophet prophesied. What kind of wicked God does that? The Christian version of favor is— and it only favors— if the favor only favors you, is bad. You got favor to construct a bridge. Okay, over 150 cars have perished inside the river because you were favored. That's not God. Let's look at verse 14 again. We're going somewhere tonight. Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph What?

They brought him in, brought him hastily out of where? The dungeon. And he did what? He shaved himself.

That's an understanding.

And changed his raiment and came unto Pharaoh.

Let me, let me give you two explanations. There is the knowledge of a thing, but there is the business of the thing. The knowledge of that thing doesn't require packaging. You just know how to solve it. But to get into the business of that thing, there is a psychological roadmap you must have. Let me tell you something. If Joseph came with prison clothes and interpreted the dream, the highest he will get will be freedom. You have to look like the one they can entrust the nation into his hand. At that level, you can't say only God knows what is on the inside. At that level, you can't say, don't, don't look at me, look at, look at— you are not seeing my heart. If you, if you find yourself always saying, just look at my heart, look at my heart, it's because you are not wise. Yes, it means what is in the heart is not yet manifesting outside. If, if that's what you always— only God that will reward you. Only God sees the heart. Men look outward appearance. Doing everything right and people will still hate you because you have not learned to manifest what is on the inside. I'm showing you the reality of life.

Yes, sir.

So when he said, bring him, the guy didn't rush. He's waited for that day all his life. He took his time. He shaved his beard. You know, particularly we Pentecostals, when we speak in tongues, we don't pay attention to many things. Oh, shamburi kashi ve ne moko patia. Going for an interview, you didn't brush.

I, I—

wherever the sole of my feet steps, I take it by fire, by force. See, with the— they will walk you out. Listen, God will not stop being God because you face shame for foolishness. He will not stop being God. He's still God.

Ah, I, I, I received the word.

I called Papa, whatever that means to you.

I called and he gave me a word for this interview.

He said it's yours already, so you not come buff because it's yours. It's yours. You didn't prepare, they were asking you questions, you were turning it upside down because I have favor. Ah, I carry favor for Ed.

I know we, we—

favor, favor, favor.

Let's see.

I know this one is spoilt. This one— imagine that I'm standing here tonight on the bill of favor and I don't know what to teach you. Even you will not come.

Yes, sir.

You know where you came from.

Yes, sir.

Because you wanted to waste your time, because I have fine face. And that's why Whenever you put people in position that they have not earned, but because you like them, you violate principles, and the principle will fight you back.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. It will fight you back. If you run an organization that is putting people in positions out of pity, there will be chaos.

Yes, sir.

Because they don't have the mind capacity for what you are giving them. What happens is that there'll be explosion. It will cave in. I tell people, I will say what I want to say. Anybody can— we can say whatever we want to say and see the Bible the way we want to see it, but it doesn't change the fact that when there was going to be a need for documentation Somebody who can interpret what Jesus came for. Two-thirds of the New Testament, God went for a lawyer.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Are you following what I'm saying?

Yes, sir.

Argue it. No problem. While we're on campus, I told my friends that I perceive that your attention to your books will show in your attention to ministry. And if anyone is going to go into ministry because they fail in their studies, there it will show to you.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Ministry is not the dumping site for failures. And I'm not saying this because I'm smart and I'm not dull, and I'm not trying to brag. We don't like to tell ourselves the truth. I think I shared a story years back. A boy, Femi Lazarus, on campus, and, um, he wasn't reading. He was always going to pray to God. At the place they call White Wall, you pray. I think he had a routine of 11 hours every day, part-time student on campus. Shalomo, the Holy Ghost said, I enjoy relationship with you. He did that throughout the semester. Carryovers lined up. Second semester, carryovers lined up. Then school said, advice to withdraw. You know, it's always advice, and it's an advice you must take. Yes, yes. You can't say, no, I'm not taking. You know, it's an advice you must take. So they withdrew, and I called him. I said, You've made mistakes. You are violating principles. I said, don't go home. Call them at home. You've been withdrawn. Go and see them, but don't go and sit down at home. Come back to academic environment so you can see people studying and you'll be inspired to go back to school. Then he said, I've heard. Then he went home. And about few months later, I saw something on Facebook. He started a church, and I said, this is not divine pattern. The calling is not what you resort to because you failed. Just the same way somebody can have breakthrough, then start running a ministry to women and now begin to speak from that venom. That's not the way it works. And one of the reasons why we are very powerless Christians, spineless Christians, is because we have emphasized on favor in a toxic way. Let me show you a scripture. And before I even show you the scripture, if you continue that Genesis 41, when Femi Lazarus Joseph was brought, he solved the problem. Did he solve the problem?

He solved the problem.

He didn't say, 'Rako si vi inemo si klaate kene kene kene kene kene.' Go, go and kill him. He went straight to the point and solved the problem that was at hand. Are you following what I'm saying? Pray when you should pray, solve problems when you should solve problems. Okay, let me show you a scripture. Turn our Bibles to the book of Micah. Micah chapter number 4. If you're there, say amen.

Amen.

Let's start the reading from verse 1. Micah chapter number 4 from verse 1. You know, sometimes when we have Bible study and you've watched— I don't know if you have been maybe in a situation where you have to follow service online. And there was network failure. It has happened to you before? Okay, so you can gather prayer warriors and say, network, hear the voice of the Lord.

But there's another way.

Get the best network. We were running a service, then light went off. Say, ah, they came for the gem. And I've told you that it's because it is one gem, one bad one.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Some attacks are not— they are nullified by abundance.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Why do we just like problem? Micah chapter number 1. Chapter number 4, sorry. Let's read verse 1 together. 1, 2, 3, go! It shall come that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and people shall—

who will flow to it? Who will flow to it?

People. Are they flowing to the mountain of the house on the bill of favor. It is exalted. Let's put the scripture side by side. Isaiah chapter number 60. Isaiah 60, we'll start from verse 1 to 3. Isaiah 60:1-3. Are you there? 1, 2, 3, go! Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Yes. Verse 2 now. For behold, the darkness have covered the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

3.

Now, and Gentiles shall come and kings. Let me tell you something. If favor puts you before kings, it is to give you tips.

Yes, sir.

See, yes, that's the truth.

Yes, sir.

It doesn't matter how anointed you are, if you are called for tips, nobody honors you for tips. How many times have you given money to beggars on the road and you knelt down because the beggar was praying? You value the prayer by the mentality of the person. If this prayer is powerful, it should have changed your own life. Whoa, talk to me now.

Yes, sir. Huh?

No, am I shouting? Let me, let me ask you now. If somebody should come in here wearing tattered clothes, tattered clothes, and say, ah, please, just 1,000 for me to eat tonight. It may take a while before you give the person and say, well, even if you give, it's out of pity. If a known billionaire enters here now and say, um, yeah, can I just get 100,000 there just for a moment? Everybody wants to say— meaning that it is not need that determines what comes out of the pocket of people. It is the value that they have. We can choose that life that everybody that sees me will favor me by pitying me. But sometimes what you're actually saying is pity. No favor.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

And you can actually ask for the favor upon the head, which is the spirit of wisdom that first makes you.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. Are you following what I'm saying? Is it simple enough for you to digest? Is it easy enough? All right, we're going somewhere.

Kings, Gentiles will come to your light.

You don't talk about light without understanding positioning.

And kings, they are not moved by your light. They are moved by the brightness of your light.

Let me show you another scripture. Stay with me. Are you still there?

Yes, sir.

That's in Isaiah chapter number 60. I want to show you something now. Look at God's Word translation, and then we see NLT translation. Look at God's Word. Let me show you God's Word translation. Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your Dawn. That's the word used there. Now look at NLT. Nations will come to your light. Mighty kings will come to see your radiance. Mighty kings, powerful kings. They are not just— they are used to light. There are doors God opened, but what you have to offer is common, so you conclude you are not favored. No, you were favored, but you didn't prepare. Let me say it again. There are doors that God opens, but what you have to offer is common. You see Even among stars, there are stars. Among stars, there are stars. Pay attention. What you want to do to be among those that God can trust to solve vital problems? Refuse to be common. What makes you special if what you want to do is what everyone else can do? Refuse to be common. Prepare yourself to be uncommon. Prepare yourself on your mind. The way you process data, the way you process things. It is not just by speaking in tongues. I'm going somewhere, cuz all these that I've been saying is to lay that important foundation. Now go back to that Micah chapter number 4. Let's look at really what was happening. Micah 4, look at verse 2. Read it loud and clear. A man shall come and say, come, let's go up to the mountain of the Lord and to the house of the God of Jacob. So let me, let me, let's, let's bring this home now. Let's bring this home. Look up. So we are We are finding out many things with empirical data that there are some conspiracies in what we call our scientific, um, should I use the word development, around the world. The issue of vaccines Vaccination. In Kenya, they found out that one of the vaccines given for a particular purpose was making those who received that vaccine sterile. That is, they will be unable to produce children. And many people have taken those vaccinations. In fact, this said now is one of the most common side effects of many vaccinations now. Some full people decided that the only way to save the planet is to reduce human population. There are different plans, from Plan A to Plan B, to periodically introduce different forms of pandemic. The second part is to kill slowly. The third one is to make sure that the rate of reproduction is slowed down. So some side effect is autism in children. And data has shown that, that many of these cases were less in places that they didn't take some vaccinations compared to places that they took vaccinations. It doesn't matter how painful what I'm saying now is, except you are skilled to do something, it is mere information. The end-time believer cannot afford to function in church environment. I can go on and on and show you many more things that are going on around the world. The other time I spoke about the move of Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos to vaccinate cows in Africa as a way to combat climate change.

Cows.

Okay, when people start falling sick, we gather as a church. We need plenty anointings to rebuke those sicknesses, those cancers. And many things, but one man who is in position of power can stop it with one decree.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Let me show you a scripture, or go back first and foremost to that same Obadiah chapter number 1, verse 21. Let's go back to it first and foremost. If you're there, say amen.

Amen.

Say it gladly.

I want to show you something. Let's read verse 21 together again, loud and clear. One more time. Please, one more time. Okay, mark that word: to judge.

To judge.

Please mark that word. Is that okay? Mark that word. I'm trying to show you that your assignment is not a friendly duty. And that's why your allegiance matters. Mark that word, to judge. Now let me show you another scripture that you probably need to pay more attention to. The book of Isaiah, chapter number 11. Isaiah chapter number 11. All right, we're going to start the reading from verse 1. Then we're going to go to Isaiah chapter number 61 from verse 1.

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his root.

Yes, quickly. And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of what? The fear of the Lord. Yes, verse 4. Now in verse 3— sorry, verse 3—

it shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord, and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither shall he reprove after the hearing of his ears. Yes, but with righteousness shall judge the poor.

There is a judgmental duty that comes with being raised in a saving capacity. I'm going to show you more. Hold on a minute. And shall reprove with equity the meek of the earth. He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Please pin those scriptures, pin them open, just open the tabs. Show you another scripture now. Psalms chapter number 86. Psalms chapter number 86, before I take you to Isaiah 61. Psalms 86. If you're there, say amen. Can you give us that scripture? Psalms 86. Let's, let's start reading from verse 1. Psalm 82. Psalm 82. Thank you, Femi Lazarus. I mean, you were close. Start from verse 1. Are you there?

Yes, sir.

Let me read for you. Please pay attention. Listen to what is there. What I'm about to show you is to take you on a journey. You will understand the reason why you are the way you are, particularly for you to understand that the way you are is not the way God made you to be. I want to show you. Are you still there? Yes, sir. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty, he judgeth among the gods.

Yes.

How long will you judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked? Defend the poor and the fatherless. Do justice to the needy and the afflicted.

Okay, the afflicted and the needy. Yes.

Deliver the poor and the needy. Rid them out of the hands of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand. Walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course. Hold on, verse 5. Hold on, verse 5. Now hold on. If you can give me verse 4 and verse 5 together. There is a work that God was programming you for, and it's a justice assignment. It's a, it's a work that involves giving justice. And I will explain, and I can't explain without giving you illustrations. So I think I, I, I said this in passing on Sunday. Some of you saw stories on Saturday, right?

Yes, sir.

Something burned in your heart.

Yes, sir.

Your heart can burn, and yet you may not be able to do anything about And instead of solving the problem, all you have to offer is, eh, yeah. And the reason why that is all you have to offer is because even you too, you are not fine. Even yousef need justice. Are we communicating? Do you accept that? Oh, are you struggling to accept that?

Even you need justice.

And for some people, it is the Gary in their house that needs justice. They have suffered. But anyways, anyways, when you move from being the one to solve the problem of the needy to being the needy You need justice. Read verse 4, please. Verse 4 again of this scripture. I want us to see something. Deliver the poor and the needy, rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Verse 5. Now said, they know not, neither will they understand.

They are looking for daily bread when they should actually be getting bread for people out of their bakeries. They have decided all I want to do with my life: marry, have children, um, have money, build a house. And they leave a small space for your graveyard around it. One live and have house and have car and have wife and children and say he has done everything people live on earth to do. What a way to sum life. There will not be justice because those who should hand it are even under grip themselves. I'm trying to really explain something really complex here. So God said they don't know, neither will they understand. And because they don't know, the foundations of the earth are— the pillars are out of us. So look at it. By the way, when we got those girls, um, when we're returning them, one of them said, if it takes long for you guys to come and pick us, we will die. By the time we had service on Sunday, one of them came with bruises because someone slept with her and didn't pay. You cannot give justice. And what is justice in that is to rid them from the hands of the wicked.

Yes, sir.

And the way to rid this one from the hands of the wicked This particular kind is not fasting and prayer, it is resources to be able to build the system to say, come out! The foundations of the earth will be out, of course, as long as you don't have So between Sunday and now, we've had to reach out to register a rehabilitation foundation and get houses that we can get people off the street, get doctors, get facility, get caregivers. To provide what is needed. If you say, I cover with the blood of Jesus, go, they will die. There's a brief conversation that is going to be posted on Femi Lazarus Plus. I had it with Debbie Great and Pastor Tumise. So she was telling me about a girl Let me give you an hint. And this girl was 23, and she already had 6 children. And out of all the 6 children, only 1 survived. 2, in the place where she was staying, doing streets hook-up and all those things, prostitution, come back and say she didn't see the child.

2.

And she got into prostitution at age 17. 6 years. So 6 years, 6 children. So when she— when Debbie was telling me about the case, the first statement I said, get me that girl. And she said she died. On Saturday. The foundation of the earth are out of course because saviors are in bondage. There's nothing you can do. Shake your head, you feel emotional, but you need a level of emancipation. To help others. That's why the devil knows that the way to fight them is to fight you. It's a proxy war. It might be quite easy for me to say Dear Nigerians and global citizens, we have something we want to do. You trust me and you know my integrity. Support this project. And they will. But if you don't have influence, it's a lamp under a bushel. Femi Lazarus Plus is going to be flooded this week. We don't care, flood it. One of the girls we were talking to said she had gone to where she would sell her kidney. They don't the first phase of test, the last phase for her to sell the kidney for about 2.5 million, they now discovered that the kidney was bad. What can you do? The earth is groaning in in pain. The earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of God. You are not at the level of give me bread, give me water. You ought to have that sorted. You are level of sorting it for others. It is this kind of church that nation will flow to, not the one that says bless you to the one who is hungry.

What can you do?

I saw something online. A girl was dying, and this is the first time I'm going to be speaking about this publicly. A girl was dying, a small girl. So they contributed money, people gathered money. And gave the father of the girl and said the money for the surgery is 2.5 million. So people were able to raise about maybe 4 million. Let the girl get her surgery done. The girl was dying. When they came back to check what they had done with the money, the man had gone to buy bike. Then he bought generator and speakers for the church. When there is lack, people eat their children. A survivor— we may blame them and shout at them and curse them. It's because there's lack in the house at first to deal with, to start with. There's lack. Say anything you want to say. It's lack. The one who steal— see, let's leave that. There is what? Lack. People were arguing, arguing this, this, this.

Ah, I said they're arguing, they should go and sell the bike.

Before you are done selling the bike and all, the girl will die. God is looking for one man that can say, all right, you guys can continue arguing, but put this girl on me. That's ministry. One time I shared the story. I was speaking with one of my spiritual daughters that was sick, was in the hospital. So I said to her, I was talking to her on phone. And I heard someone crying, so I said, who is that and what's happening? Said, a woman here, her son is dying and the doctor said he will not take the child without deposit. I said, how much is deposit? I can't remember, maybe 10,000 or 20,000. Doctor said not take the child, the child would die. So I said, tell tell the doctors, bills on me, I'll send money, take care of that child. When the mother heard, she said, no, no, no, send us the money. You know why? They wanted to eat first. I'm saying, when there's famine, people eat their children. If the version of Christianity we are practicing is daily bread, is you, you, you, you, you, we will never touch the world. They need our gospel, but they also need our help because they have to stay alive to hear our gospel. They need good hospitals, they need schools. Rehabilitation centers. That's how the mountain of the House of the Lord is exalted.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Are you learning something?

Yes, sir.

The saviors will judge The house of Esau. Am I seeing people rise from here who will be so powerful to solve problems?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Your problem is not shoes.

No, sir. No, no, no.

That shoes is what you want is a problem.

Yes, sir.

Your problem is not shoes. Better clothes. How much can you eat in a day? Okay, to where they plate your stick with gold. And they said, this is aged stick marinated for so, so number of days. Okay, you eat there, it's plated with gold, um, 4-karat gold. You chop gold. You don't need too much to survive. The reason God is raising you, because lives depend on it. When you move from personal need, you are open to a new dimension of wisdom. All right, let's continue that same scripture. Let's read again. Psalm 82, we start from verse 3, then we read to 6. All right, media, can you help me? 1, 2, 3, go. Defend the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the needy. Yes. Deliver the poor and the needy, rid them out of the hand of the wicked. Verse 4. Now verse 6. Okay, verse 5.

They know not, neither will they what? Understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said ye are gods. And all of you, children of—

all of you, read the next verse. We don't like to get there. Read it loud. Ah, no, I wait. Read it loud now. No, don't say ye. I'm the only ye here now. What's your name? Use we. No, that's the only way we can do justice.

No, no, no, no, use we. 1, 2, 3, go!

They, right?

You know how men die? They die unwrapped and unsung, because men live for themselves.

Yes, sir.

You know Sometimes I marvel when we're even just scratching the surface and I get calls and I respect those calls. People are concerned. "Hey, Apostle, we cover you with the blood of Jesus." I'm like, okay, okay, I get it.

Right?

People don't tamper those things you are tampering. That's why we are here in the first place. Don't forget people.

But ye—

so let me read it. But ye— I think that ye is Changing the order. But you— I reject this Bible I'm reading. Okay, let me read in New King James. Amplified says, but you shall die as men and fall as one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all nations. Psalm 61.

61. No, sorry, Isaiah 61.

We're going to read from verse 1 to verse 3 together. Are you ready? Are you ready? 1, 2, 3, go!

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and healing to the oppressed.

Now read verse 1 again. Again, read verse 1 again. 1, 2, 3, go. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good tidings He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound. Verse 2 now. Hold on. To proclaim what? The word for the word acceptable year of the Lord is actually the word Jubilee. To proclaim the Year of Jubilee. That's what it means. Jubilee actually a celebration of freedom. That's why you get the word Golden Jubilee, Silver Jubilee. At every Jubilee celebration, prisoners, slaves are set free. The spirit of the Lord is upon you to see someone and say, it is your Jubilee. I set you free from poverty. God doesn't have to come down to do it. I can proclaim that this year for you is the acceptable year of the Lord. I can do it because the same way man can be anointed to heal the sick and bring the sick out of sickness Man can be empowered.

Yes, sir.

To bring others out of lack.

Yes, sir.

Um, you can decide that it's daytime for somebody. You can decide that somebody's night is over because the night is characterized pain, lack, so many things. The man that was at the Pool of Bethesda for 38 years, that was 38 long nights. 38 years long night. When Jesus came, day began. You are not sons of light, so you come to a place and it's still dark. This is your prophetic destiny I'm showing you. So are you seeing that to be the one who now needs those help, that's like the devil have really gone so far? Your ordination is dominion. I teach you these things, and that's why— and let me say this to Light Nation— the most effective way to bring you to the wisdom of God is for me not to get into counseling, because there are many things I would have loved to teach you but I can't because once in a while I counsel, and even when I speak innocently, it might be perceived wrongly.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Come to church, sit down. What you want to see me for will be discussed. Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I'm just struggling here because— can I talk freely? And will you trust my heart? It takes a level of wickedness from the pit of hell for you that should be a problem solver not to even have basic things met. I understand. I understand, I get it. Nobody fell from the sky, but with this knowledge you can grow and know that there's more to me. Is that okay? Let's leave it at that level. Let's continue that scripture, all right? Want to go to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our—

vengeance of our—

vengeance of our—

I'm going somewhere.

All these things is somewhere. I'm about to get in there now. To comfort all that mourn. Look at the next verse. 1, 2, 3, go! Now I'm not sure you read this scripture well, but if you are reading the scripture the way it is written, everything being described here is what God has anointed you to do. Oh, so it means that it is actually you that God anointed to give beauty for ashes.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

You won!

Yes, sir.

I'm showing you your prophetic destiny, but you know what is I'm not yet going— I'm not yet where I'm going. I will get there. I want you to get angry. How can I, who is a solution, be part of the problem? I receive the wisdom and the grace to step out. Now you are not asking for bread for yourself. You are asking that God empowers you to be a problem solver. And I want us to be very angry, except you are— there's a way you pray the prayer when your own eyes of understanding is opened, and nobody will tell you how to. And I'm not about to engineer you as how you should pray those prayers, but if you are angry, then you should pray. I'm tired of seeing problems everywhere without being empowered to do anything about it. Help me. Empower me, empower me. I receive the empowerment, the grace needed, and I will not pass through life like a snake that pass on a rock without a mark. Set me on fire, Lord. Teach me the pathway of the Spirit. Anoint me with your oil. Fill me till I want no more. Thank you, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name we are praying. Now sit for a moment. Let me now land where I've been prepping you for. God wants to execute judgment, and the way he wants to do it is not the way you think. He wants to judge the core wickedness. That's what he wants to do. Look at this scripture and tell me what you see. Turn your Bibles to the book of Exodus. Exodus chapter number 3. For the sake of time, let's start from verse 6. Listen to what God was saying. Moreover, he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and I've heard their cry. By the reason of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrows, and I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring up out of the land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me, and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh. I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, who? The children of Israel, out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, who am I that I should go unto Pharaoh, that I should bring forth the children of Israel?

And he said, certainly I will be with thee, and this shall be a token unto thee. Now this is it. They were in bondage, they were in distress, they were being oppressed, they were being marginalized. They had no right over their own life and their basic welfare. God began the process of their deliverance 80 years before this time. Never you forget, God is the only wise God. He knew that with the curriculum of affliction that the Egyptians are passing these guys through, unless someone who is part of them is not positioned to grow away from them, they will all perish.

Yes, sir.

Sometimes the reason why you cannot even be a deliverer in your family is because you became too attentive that you became part of the problem. Okay, I've been teaching you this. For over 3 years. What Pharaoh did to them, just commonly to move from Egypt to the Promised Land, God could not. Are you telling me God would have succeeded in raising a deliverer among them? Pharaoh damaged their minds.

They beat out courage out of them, so much so that they were the ones begging with their mouth, take us back. I saw a video, a kind guy went about bailing people from prison.

And when he got an elderly man out, the man's first question was, who brought me out?

Who brought me out? Why, why did you bring me out? Why did you bail me? Did I tell you I need to be bailed? Now I have nowhere to sleep. I have nowhere to go.

The prison has become the only place that he feels important. You can become one with your chain. That you have no sense of importance away from the chain. That's why when Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus, he quickly followed Jesus, because the blindness can go or you can be addicted to begging. Because a mindset of depending on people has been built by the handicap. And that's why there are places that people treasure handicap. Yes, and even in developed countries, in the UK, many people are actually glad to have a child that has autism because government will be paying. How did we get there?

Mindset.

It's a crap system. Forget. That's why when they asked me what's my biggest fear for Nigerians, I said bitterness. You would think that because the youth are bitter, they can't change it. Who set the nation on fire? It takes people that God has exempted from it to solve it. Aaron could speak better. God said, let him be your interpreter. Sometimes you can even be anointed, but yet you don't have the mindset required to do it. Anointing is not enough. This is the reason why From the day you have been born, if care is not taken, a system has been engineered to beat courage out of you, that you will just not have the spine to do what you ought to do. You know you are, but you don't have the spine. That's why I said, and I'm repeating, once you are like that, there is a way you look respectful. It is actually low self-esteem.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Go and tell Phil. Now, your guy is your guy. You grew up together. God needed someone who would not respect the system too much.

Yes, sir.

Too much. You want to change the country, but common access to governor's office— oh my God, I feel so glad to be here. I feel so— before you have access, have the access in your imagination and adjust your culture to that. This savior thing, no be just anointing. There's a posture required. So this is the reason why when you have that posture, the devil needs your allegiance. So we can read Daniel 1 now. Daniel 1, verse 3.

And the king spake unto Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring 17 of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes.

Because we don't actually have the time to begin to teach you the protocols of the palace.

Yes, sir.

Certain. Who are those certain? Yes, quickly. Children in whom there is no blemish, but well favored and skillful in wisdom and cunning in knowledge. And understanding science. Now, before we continue this, I'm not— business here, that you've tried to meet some powerful people and they told you to come and see them in places that you really didn't consider godly.

Raise your hand. Raise it.

Clubs, bars, hotels. Raise your hand again. But do you know that that thing is very strategic for the devil? Because that thing is how many people got into drugs.

Yes, sir.

We're having a conversation. One of the programs for Femi Lazarus Plus, and a man was promised a contract. So the group of CEOs invited him to come to their hotel, and they sat down and they opened a box. Here you have cocaine, You have crack, you have ethanol, you have different kind of things to get you high. You will— they say, ah, guy, join us. To say you can't partake of this is not to get that contract.

Yes, yes.

Imagine that there's— God has placed you at a level that somebody actually needs your mentorship and say, Let's meet in church.

Yes, sir.

And the person sees the quality of word you are exposed to. The person's life is better.

Yes, sir.

That's the reason why the devil likes it that you can speak in tongues but be small. When you teach the subject of— from an angle that is Kingdom, there's no way you can endorse lasciviousness.

You matter.

You are, you are a force. You matter. You are the one to execute judgment. You are the one to declare the acceptable year of the Lord. You are the one to declare beauty for ashes. You are the one to bring people out of those pits and execute vengeance on the works of the devil. You matter. That's your prophetic destiny. Protect your mindset. Don't be chopped in pieces. Go on a journey with God. Let's leave the rest so that when the battle comes, like David, because of your exposure to the palace, you can speak to Saul. Father, I ask that you will open the eyes of understanding of your children. That saviors will rise as a result of this exposure. I ask that there will be repair where there's been damage. Damage in mindsets, damage in thought processes, damage in perception. Let there be repairs. Help your children. Raise saviors for this nation from here. Raise saviors from Africa— for Africa from here. Raise saviors for the world from here. That they will enter into their prophetic destiny, and they will do the counsel of the Lord. Let a new anointing and fresh grace, fresh insight, new depth of perception rise from amongst us, that you begin to see clearly. You no longer see men like trees. You will not get into the vicious cycle of desperation. But rather from the place of rest, you will exercise the counsel of the Lord. You will be a major kingdom influence. You'll be an influence to kings and nobles in Jesus' mighty name.
